Athenian: "It has come to our attention that a ship you thought destroyed may have had a survivor. This happened during our battle with you at the Station. Telemetry later recovered in the wreckage showed a successful ejection from the fighter."

Mav: "True, it could be a trap, but it's our duty to pursue the possibility, no matter how slim..."

Bryant: "What's up with those black toasters? I thought we were fighting THEM?"
Topsy: "If you weren't sleeping during the briefing, maybe you'd know!"

Kuo: "The Athenians aren't actually Cylons. The people who survived the Cylon attack here in the Colonies built those robots, and transferred their consciousness into them."

Kuo: "The Cylons were built by man, and became homicidal, fighting two wars against the humans. The first was a draw, the second pretty much killed everybody."

Kuo: "Our ancestors, on this ship, traveled across the galaxy, and finally found Earth, our home, and settled there."

Crewman: "Oh, I get it, that's why the Galactica was found in the asteroid belt."

Kuo: "Exactly. They had planned to have the fleet of ships fly themselves into the sun, but Galactica didn't make it. Lucky for us, right?"

Bryant: "But why aren't the Cylons trying to kill us?"

Kuo: "That's where it starts to get complicated, Aidan. Some of the Cylons switched sides, and teamed up with the human fleet."

Kuo: "After they got to Earth, they were allowed to take that Baseship, and explore the galaxy on their own. The surviving skin-job Cylons stayed on Earth. That's why all of us are a little of both. Get it?"

Topsy: "Then the Cylons showed up about a year after we found the Galactica, not too long after we moved on board. That was freaky?!"

Kuo: "They convinced us it was a good idea to come back here to the Colonies. To see where we came from."

Crewman: "Now what about those toaster we found on Kobol? And the one that was going around killing people a few weeks ago, the one that almost got you, Topsy?"

Kuo: "Oh, those were still the nasty ones, before the human/Cylon alliance. They were stuck there in hibernation all those years, just waiting to attack."

Kuo: "As far as the friends we made last year at the Christmas party...Well, we're not exactly sure what they're up to. Rumor has it they may have Strummer! But don't tell anyone where you heard that, eh?"

Kuo: "In fact, if you want to know the truth, things are probably about to get PRETTY ugly around here..."

Galactica CIC:

Shraga: "Sir, we've input the coordinates from the Athenians, and they've been confirmed."
Nempec: "Start the clock."

Shraga: "Yes, Sir. All hands, set Condition One throughout the ship! Prepare to jump on my mark..."

Ah yes, gossiping hands on deck, always a neat way to outline the motives and general plot. I always imagined the Cylons only wanted to befriend humans so as to ensure finding earth so that they could totally wipe us all out. Hmmm... These pics look top notch as ever mate. You must be tempted to do some Blood & Chrome stuff, I know I sure am. Till the enxt time, 'So say we all...'

The old rumor mill, always a good source of info on a ship. Still haven't decided what those toasters are up to, but we'll see soon enough...Thanks, Chief!

A great catch up episode. I have not noticed those white upside down triangular walls in the hanger deck before – they are awesome. The subtle changes in the figures during their conversations are brilliant too – it’s the little things like that that make all the difference. Bring on the next episode.

The original design is pretty much 2X4's, although the rest of our decks are quite different. I try and make it look like they're talking, gestures and all, even before I write the script. Glad you enjoyed the show!

Had to think about Cyberfrank´s commentfor a momemt. ... Guess he´s kinda right, but also not at the same time. Different "skin" tones, just like in real life - you said it, diversity! SW uniforms, I don´t care about that. Always the same dark indoor scenes? Hmm, there arent so many different looking places on a huge, but somewhat cramped space ship, imo. Perhaps you could spice things up a little with some new outdoor episodes? Besides all that, another cool episode! Recap scene was nice and I always loved to see the ships jumping away. ~Marc

Well, your med lab is one of the few places that tends to be brighter. I was actually thinking about taking the gang out into the snow, just not sure what to do with them?

"Be kind, please rewind." The story that is! Thanks for the recap friend, I needed it. Due to my CRS (can't remember s#!+) I knew I forgot something. Wait a minute, what was I saying again? Any way Happy New Year!

Another good one! Having Kuo 'tell the history' was a clever idea, as the women in a lot of ancient cultures where the 'keepers of the story'... must be our fantastic memories for all those little details! You know like how we remember that time when our partner did that stupid thing and we even don't ever forget to bring it up know&then... hee, hee! Also, in real life even if Topsy didn't make a comment out loud llke that one... she'd be thinking it! Cheers! :)

I went back and forth on that: Should I do a separate post, or just work it into a scene? I think it's more effective this way, plus it adds some personal interest to the characters. You're right about women not forgetting stuff, wives AND mothers. Hope you had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year!

if you d ever re-start the serie, you should eliminate the tiny things that are not perfect, 2 skin tones, and the crewmen of the hanghar, if you could change the helmets it would be fine, as sometimes I feel I m in empire strikes back, it s a real good thing, testament to your design skills, but, the crewmen should have a difference with sw, there is nothing else to improve here, you do everything right, pics, lights, effects, story is also interesting, if you could arrange to have different looking scenes per episodes it would keep the visuals fresh, you built a lot of different scenes for the ship, but, it s still the same dark atmosphere, if you could have a scene that is brighter once in a while, like star trek, when they go to planets, as soon as I build myself a viper, you ll be the 1rst to know,lol, as I d like to land one on alta-5 one day, you ll tell me who s the pilot, and you ll feed his lines, I ll invite you in my group at that moment, what sw ship do you suggest to buy to have proper material, try to give me a # model on shelves, I ll buy it in a few days! I can t wait until you make the next, I love it when you make some action! I don t want to be annoying, but, I d still love hand to hand combat with cyclons! [a la terminator 1]

That's quite a comment there, Frank! Okay, so, the figs, okay, yes, but I do like the various types. Can't say as I've seen faces I would have rather used. Diversity, my friend! The helmets are pretty close to what they used on the BSG TV show on the hangar deck, just without the insignias. When I first built the Hangar Deck, I had it on my dinning room table in front of a big window, so it was really bright. Now it's downstairs in a closet with some LED lighting. Probably could add another track to brighten things up a bit. A Viper, eh? Just the canopy and three engines are the only real specialized pieces I can think of. That would be fun! More action on the way, but hand to hand might be a challenge, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks, Chief!

Enjoyed the narrative on this one, Bart...good to check the map every now and again to see where the story stands. Meanwhile, nice hook there at the end. Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Good to hear from you, Mark! It's good to have feedback from the audience to stay on track when things get too confusing. Have a great New Year!

GREAT as always! I admit that the summary given by those in the flight pod/hangar was really appreciated. I've followed this show since the start, but still, I admit I'd forgotten a few details, which didn't stop me from still reading. Thanks!

Well, then it's a good thing. This has gotten to be a really LONG story! Even I forget stuff! Thanks again for your loyal and enthusiastic readership, Digger!!

Nice cliff hanger Barto. Great episode and might I say awesome opening pic! Looking forward to your new episodes in 2013, wow can't believe it's right around the corner.
See you at Brickworld hopefully...

Between building, photographing, and editing for each episode, I often look at new backgrounds for upcoming threads. I've got a collection of Galactica pics to paste on, and see what they look like, just for fun. Most get filed away, but some make it as Main Pics. Thanks again, Peter, and hope to see you this spring!!

I'm so far behind that trying to check out this episode is like watching Coed Bikini Carwash 5 with out having seen 1-4; I have no idea what's going on! LMAO! Like Thor, I need to find some time to catch up...~H

We're open 24/7, so whenever you get around to it. Too bad you're not getting the foot of snow that we are right now! And I know what you mean about CBC, the character development and back stories can get pretty complex. Might have to start that series again from the beginning... Thanks, Hans!
